Fortnite<\/strong>\u2019s big chapter-ending event just ended, and it was a big one.<\/p>\n After an all-out war against UFOs, zombies, and the Cube Queen, players were saved in a rescue mission led by Dwayne Johnson. (Well, his in-game character.) Then, the island flipped over.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n The event<\/p>\n Let\u2019s back up a bit. The game\u2019s latest season has been all about the cubes, and right when the event loaded up, a mysterious giant blue cube spawned on the map next to all of the players in my lobby. Jumping at the cube bounced players away, but it otherwise, didn\u2019t do anything beyond loom ominously.<\/p>\n We also could look at the Cube Queen in the distance, which has been floating in an energy ball over the center of the island for part of the season.<\/p>\n When the even\u2019t countdown clock reached 10 minutes, the Cube Queen\u2019s evil laugh echoed over the island and zombies started spawning in front of our base. Fortunately, weapons were added to everyone\u2019s inventory, so players worked to fend off the incoming zombie troopers (though the zombies didn\u2019t seem to pose any real threat).<\/p>\n When the clock reached zero, an alarm blared over the island, and the Cube Queen\u2019s pyramid shone bright. She launched a beam into the sky that opened up a huge portal revealing a horde of giant UFOs. During the game\u2019s seventh season, the island was under the shadow of just one UFO; the Cube Queen<\/strong> had brought an army.<\/p>\n UFOs and zombies approached the blue cube as players tried to fend them off. But the battle began to look unwinnable, and things went from bad to worse when a UFO blew up the blue cube.<\/p>\n After that, the event took an interesting twist, moving the perspective under the surface of the island to a CGI cutscene. (It was kind of like if Netflix<\/strong><\/a> made a Fortnite<\/strong><\/a> TV show.) The game\u2019s main character, Agent Jones, was strapped to a laboratory chair with a device on his head, and Doctor Slone, who betrayed players at the end of last season, was seemingly about to end Jones\u2019 life.<\/p>\n Then, a hulking figure known as The Foundation burst in to save the day \u2014 and he took off his mask to reveal that he\u2019s played by, as suspected, none other than Dwayne Johnson.<\/p>\n As Jones and The Foundation tried to get to safety, two other characters dressed similarly to The Foundation rescued players on the surface and brought them down to the inner island. Players were then given control to follow someone called The Scientist to get to Jones and The Foundation. But during the escape, the island began to tip over bit by bit.<\/p>\n Eventually, players made it to Jones and The Foundation at the Zero Point (essentially a big ball of energy that has been a key plot point in Fortnite). The Scientist assured everyone that we were safe, but then one of the giant zombies smashed a window, causing water to rush in and for all of us to be forced out.<\/p>\n Soon, my character surfaced and watched as the island slowly tipped up to be completely vertical and then fall the other way. That crushed the Cube Queen, which caused the giant portal with the UFOs to close up. Then the island flipped all the way over revealing a whole new landscape. At a distance, you could see a little bit of the new areas to explore, but a tidal wave quickly swept my player out to sea.<\/p>\n I can\u2019t move, and there\u2019s hardly anything on screen except for me, my log, and the vast open ocean. It\u2019s all reminiscent of the black hole that bridged the transition between Chapters 1 and 2.<\/p>\n There\u2019s no timer or any sort of indication of when Chapter 3 might be playable. But if you want a sneak peek of what\u2019s to come, a leaked trailer looks to have spoiled a lot of what you can expect.<\/p>\n This chapter, which kicked off in October 2019 after a multi-day downtime featuring the black hole, pushed Fortnite\u2019s growing narrative ambitions with events featuring first-person storytelling, an arcade shooter against a Marvel villain, a thrilling single-player event to try and stabilize reality, and even a mission inside an alien mothership full of cubes. Chapter 2\u2019s concluding event took things another step forward, and now we\u2019ll have to wait and see what Epic has in store for Chapter 3.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n With The Convergence completed, the final battle to save the Island begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
